I'm running 11.10 with all updates and I'm unable to reproduce this behavior anymore. I'll mark the bug as Fix Released (fixed by an unknown upgrade).
If you're still experiencing this problem, please make sure to fully upgrade your system and try again; if it still happens, please provide detailed steps to reproduce (I run gedit & in the reported terminal programs) and mark it as New again.
